If so, why? Westerdam's coming back, it's not the final cruise of the season. Yes, we did. Nice touch. We are now well underway toward a unique full day in Victoria. I'm looking forward to see a lot of that city and meeting a couple of CCers 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to see a lot of that city and meeting a couple of CCers So I did see it right. That's fantastic, I've been on a couple ships where they've done it. Tell the captain to drive slowly. The Princess Marguerite "Maggie" used to be able to get to Victoria in about 5 hours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Haljo1935 Posted September 2 #86 Share Posted September 2 Thanks @richwmn for posting ALL the menus. We leave in 26 days for AK and will use these as we plan. Sounds like you had a great sail a way and first day. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberta Quilter Posted September 2 #87 Share Posted September 2 That’s a very different Pinnacle menu from the one I had on the Volendam a few weeks ago. I wonder if HAL is testing again on the Testerdam. Is one of the two pages a lunch menu? Thank you for your reports! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare richwmn Posted September 2 Author #91 Share Posted September 2 09/02/2024 Victoria, British Columbia 0700-2100 Good Morning from Victoria. It is nice to be back aboard a ship. The temperature is 57°F/14C° under scattered clouds. Last night we had a nice sail away party on the aft Lido Deck. People really didn’t start showing up until after we left the dock, but then it picked up. We were introduced to the Entertainment Staff and then those who wished participated in a group dance. The Lido was open for dinner and it was Welcome Aboard Steak Night. We went in and got a table. I got steak, rice, and a small ear of corn. All was pretty good. Everything went smoothly. After dinner I went to the World Stage for the show. I arrived right at the start and the upper level was packed. The comic, Warren B. Hall, was pretty good and got a good response from the audience. After the show I headed for Billboard and music trivia at 8:30. The two piano players were playing to a pretty large audience and went a bit late so trivia was delayed. It was announced that the 8:30 trivia each evening was to be Music, and last night was three songs from each decade from the ‘50’s to the ‘90’s. We paired up with the Bridge Instructor and his wife and only missed one song and artist. After asking for scores up to 25 right it was declared that we were all winners, so I don’t know if anyone got them all. A group nearby that was pretty loud group might have.

bcummin Posted September 2 #95 Share Posted September 2 It looks like the ounces for each steak, to me, not an uncharge. 🙂 Barbara 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The online sample menu for our November 2024 and April 2025 (just added this week) Pinnacle Grill is the one we've been used to seeing - no added charge except for caviar, surf-n-turf, Delmonico and lobster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberta Quilter Posted September 2 #97 Share Posted September 2 43 minutes ago, swin26 said: They are now charging extra for all of the steaks?? That was my first reaction, too, but then I noticed the Tomahawk steak had the supplemental pricing underneath, and what I thought were steak prices, were the size of the steak in ounces. In the pic, the filet 8 oz looked like 8.00! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live4cruises Posted September 2 #98 Share Posted September 2 @richwmn, thank you for all the terrific information. I am hopeful we see some of the new menu items on our Oosterdam TA, but I expect they won’t turn over the menus until they begin a new season. Thank you again for all the detailed and tempting information you post to CruiseCritic every day! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The menu does not show a surcharge for all steaks - the surcharge (when applicable) is the last line under the steak with "supplement " 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
